This paper focuses on the causality among inflation, relative price variability and skewness in the distribution of price changes. The data used are the prices of a group of inputs that are components of price indices related to the public constructions sector. The period 1977-1997 is considered in the analysis. Two theoretical approaches are tested: the menu costs theory and the asymetric price response hypothesis. The results do not support the first one because there is evidence of feedback effects. The asymmetric price response hypothesis is not rejected only in period 1977-1985.
